Our favorite Norman restaurant! Fabulous patio, happy hour specials that make you want to show up early and hang out until dinner time, superior service, and a wonderfully creative menu of reasonably healthy comfort food. Just west of the railroad tracks on Main Street, if you only go to one restaurant, this should be it!

Legacy Trail runs 1.5 miles through the heart of Norman. The walking and biking path parallels an active BNSF railroad, making it what is known as a rail-with-trail. The northern half of the trail sits on the west side of the railway tracks and passes close to residential areas, a public library, and Andrews Park. At Acres, the trail switches over to the other side of the tracks and parallels Jones Avenue south along the more commercial part of the city and into Legacy Park. Dotted with informational plaques and sculptures detailing different aspects of Norman's history, take time to pause on your journey and learn something new about Norman's rich and diverse history.
